Abraham Lincoln faces to the right because the design of the coin was based on a medal that had his image that direction. Also, Jefferson's portrait faces right on the Westward Journey nickels struck in 2005, so Lincoln is not the only president facing that direction. The choice of direction for a portrait is purely artistic. There is no law or political reason for the selection.

Why is it that Lincoln is the only President on a coin to look to the right?
He isn't anymore. In 2005 the nickel was temporarily redesigned so that Jefferson's portrait also faced to the right. However in 2006 it was turned again and Jefferson faces forward on newer nickels. The decision as to which direction each portrait faced was just coincidence, due to the medals and other sculptures on which the coins' designs were based.
Who is the president on the silver-dollar?
There is no president on the only silver dollars intended for circulation. All the dollar coins containing silver for general circulation had an image of Liberty and were last minted in 1935. However, the Eisenhower dollar coin minted from 1971-1978 are the same size as the earlier silver dollar coins, but they ones intended for circulation contain absolutely no silver and should not be called silver dollars. These dollar coins minted from 1971-1978 contain a portrait of Dwight Eisenhower on them.

Why is Abraham Lincoln facing the right and all others on the nickel dime quarter are facing the left?
The coin's designer, Victor David Brenner, based the image on a medal he had created earlier. The direction of portraits on American coins is not determined by any laws or custom, but solely by the preference of the artists who designed them. In fact, Lincoln is not the only president whose image faces to the right. The modernistic portrait of Thomas Jefferson used on the 2005 Lewis and Clark nickels also is right-facing and his portrait on 2006 and later nickels is in a 3/4-right orientation. Images on the Presidential Dollars face in all directions, and on older coins those of Miss Liberty are about equally split between left and right.
